    I'm looking at order some custom alligator straps for my '57 Trilogy Speedmaster. I've been looking at ABP and Camille Fournet for potential straps colors and configurations. I've been playing around with both sites for the last few weeks.

    Question for forum members: What thickness would you recommend for the '57 Trilogy Speedmaster? I believe 3mm would be too thin. I'm leaning towards 4mm.

    I would greatly appreciate your input. Thanks and HAGWE!

    Kind Regards,

    Mark

    I don't know but 4mm is very thick for any watches except panerai...
    Are you looking for a embossed gator or flat gator?

    You are absolutely correct 3mm is too thin. Because of the hole placement on the lugs, you can easily use a thicker strap. the strap that I use on my Speedies when I have them on a strap is 5mm. They work fine for me.

    YMMV

    :)

    Mach, I think ABP has a sale going on right now, if you didn't know.
